Answer:No. Stinkbugs aren't poisonous. I caught one today, and I'm not dead.

Their stench is for self defense. For example: if a bird is after them, they'll release their stench and it will go away.

Answer:Actually, the eggs are protected in arsenic. There is a Chinese bird that is immune to the arsenic, enabling it to prey on stinkbugs. Also, you don't die from touching them. Arsenic is a poison that if you consume enough of it, you will die. In large amounts, it gets into the blood stream. In other words, don't eat stinkbugs. Answer:No. The Brown Marigold Stinkbug is actually not poisonous. There are other known species that may be poisonous, but they live in other countries.

Probably not poisonous, but certainly not tasty. I remember a nature documentary in which a spider moved quickly to eat an insect which stumbled into its web. Upon realizing that the insect was an "unappetizing" stinkbug, the spider let it go. Gary Larson had a cartoon with birds disappointed to find stinkbugs on their Pizza with the other insects they ordered, so it is presumed that birds do not like them either.

Stink bugs are are not dangerous to humans. My 10 month old baby has, unfortunately, eaten a couple of them and I see no harm except for the stink. Im no expert, though.

They are not poisonous, they just release a bad odor as a defense.
